Happy Birthday to me!!
\nAnd you’ve all gone out of your way to make sure it’s been wonderful, and it’s not even 11am yet.
\nThe family woke me up early, and Em insisted on a birthday portrait.

\nSorry, I couldn’t do that to myself, or to any of you!
\nThere were gifts, but there was perhaps not quite enough wrapping paper.

\n(This is perhaps the sweetest wrapped gift I have ever received.)
\nInside was the wall sconce from Dusk<\/a> that I have been lusting after.

\nEmily bought the vanilla scented candles herself. It looks lovely with my new furniture.
\nThey bought me beautiful jewellery.

\nAnd some yummies from Lush<\/a>.

\nI hear that Em told the lady that the temple balm<\/a> was for my birthday, so the lady gave her all the little samples to give me, too.
\nDavid has this weird idea that I have enough yarn, so he didn’t buy me any knitting paraphernalia. So Em went to her stash and wrapped some yarn.

\nThen she went into hysterics when I opened the cheap novelty yarn, and is probably still giggling at her desk at school right now.
\nWhen I went to the post office, there was yarn!

\nThe Misti Alpaca I ordered from The Knitting Zone<\/a> for the Icarus Shawl, and Carol<\/a> sent me yummy sock yarn!
\nSeriously, this may well be the best birthday I have ever had.
\nThank you to every one of you who has left a comment, sent an email or ecard, or a gift full of good wishes and thoughts! You guys rock.
\n99% of the most wonderful people I know I have met via the internet. My mother still believes that the internet is full of weirdos and perverts, but I know better.
\nThis day couldn’t get any better, and it’s all thanks to all of you, and to my wonderful family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
